I have the ticking noise too. It sounds just like my '73 Ford truck which has a leak in the exhaust manifold gasket. I'm not necessarily saying that I think my Bullitt has an exhaust leak, I'm just saying that the noise sounds just like an exhaust leak. I hate going to the dealer for something like that only to be told "oh, that's normal". I think that quote is used by technicians when a customer describes a noise, duplicates the noise for the tech, but happens to be having no serious problems with the car. Unless they can apply a TSB to the car, they write it off as "normal".
Hey, it's under warranty. I planned to call the dealer tomorrow morning but will now hold off because of Doug's post...thanks Doug for keeping us posted.
